I think smith.fam.org is better.
A family is an organization (check CA state law as well as NJ and
others). The legal def. of an organization in CA is something like "a
group of people"... "that work together"... "for/with/on a common
purpose". In CA they have a list of organizations that have registered
with the state, look under the subheading "Family Of" for a list of
people that have registered. They have all registered as
"Family of xxx" so that alphabetically they'd all be listed
together.
